Built on Intel's 14nm foundry platform, Spreadtrum SC9853I is targeting the global mid and high-level smartphone market. It features 1.8GHz Octa-core 64-bit Intel Airmont architecture based processor, which enables SC9853I to offer a high-performance mobile computing ability coupled with ultra-low power. The SC9853I supports LTE Cat-7 downlink and Cat-13 uplink for 5-mode communication standard (TD-LTE/FDD-LTE/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA/GSM), which can reach downlink speeds of 300Mbps and uplink speeds of up to 150Mpbs to achieve a true 4G+ on-line surfing experience. It also supports 1080P HD video playback, 18:9 FHD+ (1080*2160) screen display, and 16 megapixels resolution dual-cameras.

"Our first joint product was launched at Mobile World Congress earlier this year and we are pleased to continue our partnership with the release of Spreadtrum's SC9853I SoC. The Intel Custom Foundry 14nm platform delivers industry leading PPA and offers turnkey foundry services and support. It is ideal for mainstream mobile designs that need high performance and low leakage," said Dr. Zane Ball, Intel's Vice President, Technology and Manufacturing Group, General Manager, Intel Custom Foundry. "Spreadtrum fully utilized all the advantages of Intel Custom Foundry's 14nm platform and as a result, the SC9853l offers excellent performance and efficient power management which enhance the smartphone experience for global users."
